I suggest you post your code in Meditations or Cool Uses for Perl instead.

OK... but posts in those sections are just as game for criticism as any other section. I'd say maybe more so.

    I'm a bit surprised you think so, and I'm not sure whether I agree... despite there of course not really being a way to measure that. I've usually felt that the criticism in SoPW tends to be harsher for the reasons I named above. But perhaps one of my original suggestions of posting the code as an RFC in Meditations is the best - in any case, my main point of not posting code like that in SoPW still stands.

    Perhaps we need a new "Luke Warm Uses for Perl" section. :) Instead of "Luke Warm" we might try "Quirky" or "Wacky" or "Unorthodox". Suggestions welcome.

    Of the existing sections, posting to Obfuscated code might result in fewer downvotes.

      It will result it lots of downvotes if it's just bad code and not true obfuscation. People have expectations. :-)

      But many unorthodox uses for Perl are just ahead of their time and have yet to become mainstream...

        Bod, I'll take that as a vote for "Unorthodox".

        ... or are you suggesting that harangzsolt33's unorthodox Perl coding style is ahead of its time and will become mainstream in the future? :)
